Nick is from what people call me.

The avatar is a more interesting story.
I used to go around for years without an avatar, but it wasn't very fun.
Then I put a square black gif file as an avatar, just to put in whatever.
Then I used some two red dots that were supposed to be eyes. Took them from the wallpaper for a site I made when I was 14, where it was supposed to look like eyes in the dark were watching you.
Then I got bored one day and decided to make them glow. Well not really glow, just fade to black and fade back to red.

A few years back, someone offered to make graphics for a game of mine about killer robots. I asked him to redo the avatar to put two glowing red eyes on the killer robot too. He did just one, because it looked better that way.

So yeah, there.

Eh, now that you point it out, it kinda does. The original looks a bit more like Schwarzenegger, though.

Na, Obama's face is taller; that one is too stout to be his. Stretch the height about 1 or 2 face-inches and it would be about right.

I didn't want to mention it before, to avoid derailing the thread, but seeing as it is about avatars now as well, there is actually a second pun in mine. With the top hat and monacle it is now a noble savage. Which I guess itself could be considered a third pun, since the idea of the noble savage was more or less the basis of the movie.

 This is probably because the name and face lots you drew were decent.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

I came up with the name myself when runic was already taken.
I came up with the av myself when I didn’t find anything decent.
I think I even was proud of this kind of bull for a minute. :/

I usually go by the name Jude, 'cuz that's my name, but it tends to be taken.

Lumbajak just kind of popped up a while back, got into some discussion about the manliest men ever to be manly men, and Lumberjacks came up.

And Lumberjacks are manly.

So now I'm Jude the Lumberjack

or Jude_Lumbajak as it goes in some places.
